Botox and Breast Feeding Safe?

May 22, 2012

My dermatologist administered Botox. I'm currently breast feeding and the Dr. assured that it doesn't affect breast feeding. After I came home to my horror internet search resulted in various sites saying Botox should not be done when breast feeing. I complained to the dr. and he says since its been siginificantly diluted it should be ok. Should I be concerned? To be careful I've avoided breast feeding today. Please advise if breast feeding can be contined.
